A quick whinge, cos I can.

It takes a lot to get me to walk out of a lecture. Today, one of my teacher teachers was so bad at teaching teaching that she managed to do just that.

I may have commented hereish before on distinctions, such as between culture and race. Definitions are useful, but they are only a starting point.

Both my Laptop and old desktop are currently (completely) kaput.

The laptop especially is doornail dead.  The desktop is probably recoverable.

Have seen this coming for a bit, but it's still fairly infuriating.

As some of you might be aware, palm oil is a big problem environmentally.  The crap is in all sorts of foods, particularly junky ones, and also in a lot of (even "high-end") soaps.

Since I cottoned on to this, I've taken a look at a range of stuff we use... and at the time, found that there were no substitutes for the instant noodles that we were ( Read more... )
